The magnetic hyperfine field of bromine in iron by NMR/ON

Nuclear magnetic resonance of⁸²Br oriented at low temperature in iron has been observed with a sample prepared by ion implantation atT<0.2 K. The asymmetric resonance signal can be decomposed in a broad background signal and a narrow line of FWHM=1.8 (4) MHz which can be attributed to⁸²Br in undisturbed substitutional sites of Fe. From the center frequency of this narrow line (B _ext=0)=201.86(13) MHz we derive the magnetic hyperfine field asB _hf(BrFe)=81.38(6) T. This value is considerably larger than the result of theoretical calculations.     

Organometallic Syntheses with Diazoalkanes

In recent years, aliphatic diazo compounds have proved to be more and more versatile as reagents in the preparative chemistry of organometallic complexes. As readily accessible compounds, they are not only suitable for the synthesis of known kinds of metal complexes but also open fresh routes to novel complex systems. The comparatively new field of diazoalkane complex chemistry exhibits numerous unexpected and novel reactions, and introduces interesting and promising aspects into the chemistry of carbonylmetal compounds.     

Fragmentation of 1-aryl-5-(2-dialkylaminovinyl)-1H-tetrazoles upon electron impact

The mass spectrometric behaviour of 1-aryl-5-(2-dialkylaminovinyI)-lH-tetrazoles was studied, especially 1-phenyl-5-(2-dimethylaminovinyl)-l H-tetrazole as a typical example of D- and ¹⁵N-labelled derivatives revealed a rearrangement via a carbodiimide-like intermediate ion.     

Rapid chemical separation procedures

Fast, discontinuous separation procedures are described for zirconium, niobium, technetium and antimony from fission products. Other rapid separation methods from aqueous solutions are summarized. The combination of a gas jet recoil transport system with a continuous solvent extraction technique and with a thermochromatographic separation method is presented. The application of such procedures to the investigation of new and already known short-lived nuclides is illustrated by some examples.     

Jod-spezifischer Detektor für einen Gas-Chromatographen

The In-flame detector earlier applied to the specific chlorine (359.9 nm) and bromine (372.7 nm) analysis has now been employed for the iodine determination at 409.9 nm. It is shown that the resolution power of a GC column can be improved by such a specific detector. After calibration quantitative measurements of the iodine contents of the GC fractions are possible. The detection limits are 0.01–1.4 μg of iodine.     

Application of a micro carbon rod atomizer as Br-spezific gas-chromatographic detector

Summary A micro carbon rod atomizer has been employed for specific and quantitative bromine determinations. This Br-specific gas-chromatographic detector works by help of InBr-bands and measurement at 372.7 nm. The performance of this flame band emission detector (FBD) is demonstrated by calibration curves and the detection limits of 2 examples (ethyl bromide, ethylene dibromide), the latter being 5 and 36 ng of bromine, respectively. The reproducibility has been found to be 4.3%. An example of this detector in comparison with a thermoconductivity detector (TCD) is presented.

Verwendung einer Mikro-Graphitküvette als Br-spezifischer Detektor für die Gas-Chromatographie

Zusammenfassung Eine Mikro-Graphit-Küvette wird für spezifische quantitative Brombestimmungen nach der Indium-Methode bei 372,7 nm benützt und in Verbindung mit einem Gas-Chromatographen als Br-spezifischer Detektor eingesetzt. Die Leistungsfähigkeit dieses Detektors wird an 2 Beispielen (Äthylbromid, Dibromäthan) mit Hilfe von Eichkurven, Bestimmung von Nachweisgrenzen u. ä. demonstriert. Die Nachweisgrenzen liegen bei 5 bzw. 36 ng Brom für die 2 genannten Substanzen. Die Reproduzierbarkeit der Messungen liegt bei 4,3%. Ein Beispiel für die Registrierung eines Gemisches verschiedener Substanzen, gemessen mit dem GC + Flammen-Banden-emissions-Detektor (FBD) und zum Vergleich mit einem Wärmeleitfähigkeitsdetektor (TCD), wird dargestellt.
